each tone is the same time apart...(or VERY close)

I was just shoving the audio around in Audacity, first off changing the playback speed. The tones sounded to me to be artificially fast, so I slowed them down. then I played with tempo and pitch a bit. I would say these tones likely started out as something else, instead of being artificially generated as you hear them.

Based on what I'm hearing, the source sounds to me to be...

A train whistle.

Maybe a few different ones. When you slow the track down enough, all but the first tones have very distinct dead spots in them, sounding artificially blank. There's not even background noise, so it sounds like the gain on the channel is just dropped to nothing.

Ok I'm just sorting through some thoughts. They don't add up to anything. I'm repeating some things that have been said.

1) there's a lot of background noise in here, at least up until the "drop" (i.e. the sound dropping out entirely, including the background noise).

2) the "swoosh" sound at the end does not start on an exact second, but the "drop" does seem to me to start right on the 8th second.

3) the background noise would make you think this is something being picked up via a microphone (an old bad one).

4) but if it was, it's not someone punching at a key pad because no one punches on the exact second 8 times straight. And the notes all seem to have the same length to me also (somewhere around a half second).

5) these are definitely not clean tones.

6) seems to be more than one tone playing on each "note".

Seems to me that, background noise aside, we have 8 tones that are exactly .5 seconds long, 7 half-seconds of silence between them, then after the 8th tone there is a half-second swoosh then a final second of a different sound (during which I no longer hear the background noise).

Hi everybody.
First, great job on everything.

I know I'm not a proper member but I've been following this thing since the beginning.

I just came here to say that what we can hear are more likely notes coming from a synth.
For those using Ableton Live there is an audio effect in Live REDUX that can make the same "swoosh" sound like the one we can hear at the end of the audio file.

Sorry, I made a mistake while writing my post and I cannot edit since I'm a guest.

I meant:

^ Little Jedi Mind Trick there Ras? hehe..
Well, of course then, the only thing to do is to have the PM's steer us away from any trouble by releasing the next clue asap, correct?
